[RE-wrenches] Grid-tie inverter for wind generator

[Chris Daum]

One killowatt, and three wire.  He's been using it with some heating
elements as a dump load, to make hot water.  And he just sent me a picture
-- heck, it's on something like a 20 ft. pole, so no wonder it's not making
much power!  Also he doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so I suspect the
Aurora (which would be a pretty good deal) will still be too costly for him.
 
His machine's output is put through rectifiers to make the battery voltage.

Chris,

 

What is the wattage rating of the wind turbine?

 

And is that 48-60 VDC directly out of the turbine, or is that what comes out
of the turbine's "controller"? To put that another way, are there just two
wires coming out of the turbine, or three wires?

Hello Wrenches:

 

I have an inquiry from a fellow with a 48V wind generator (it puts out
between 48 and 60VDC).  It's an old Cyclone, originally made in Canada.
He's wanting a grid-tie inverter to lessen his electrical bill; I know he
could use an Outback but he doesn't want to fool with batteries.  Anyone got
any ideas what inverter might work for him?

 

Best,
